My Love is... Devoted to Wolf Alice.

In my Music That Defines 2014 post, I went on about how I need a Wolf Alice album in my life, ASAP...

'Giant Peach' Artwork.

Three long months later, the world decided to stop torturing me, and my wish was granted; Wolf Alice are due to release their debut album ‘My Love is Cool’ on the 22^nd June 2015. Their album will include old tracks like ‘Fluffy’ and ‘Bros’, also accompanied by their newest single ‘Giant Peach’

Earlier this week, they also announced that they are releasing a limited edition –only 500 copies- 7” ‘Giant Peach’ vinyl. This release represents Wolf Alice’s split personality perfect. Giant peach is so heavy, so loud, and this contrasts the B-side perfectly. ‘I Saw You (In A Corridor’ is such a sweet, calm and heart-warming song, they sound like a completely different band. This is why I am in love with Wolf Alice. The fact they haven’t really assigned themselves in one genre is what makes them so appealing. This band is so versatile, and this is why their album deserves all the success they can get.

‘I Saw You (In A Corridor)’ is available as a free download when signed up to their website, ‘Giant Peach’ is on sale now.

Thanks, Latitude...

I am a huge lover of festivals, if I can’t go, I spend the three days watching the coverage, crying that I’m not there. Last year’s festivals were amazing; Damon Albarn at Latitude, The Libertines come back at Hyde Park and Jamie T’s secret set at Reading and Leeds. I, like many people, am not a big fan of the R&L line up this year. To be honest, I’d rather catch Kasabian at V-fest (never thought those two words would be in the same sentence…) than watch Mumford and Sons strum their banjos.

However, my disappointment in this year’s festivals ended today at midday. Latitudes line up is heavenly, and it outshines any other line up I have seen.

On Friday, 17^th July, Latitudes stage will be graced by the presence of my very favourites – alt-J. If you have the chance to see them at the festival DON’T MISS OUT!! This band is by far one of my favourites I have seen live, and the fact I am going to be seeing them again in the summer puts a face-splitting smile across my face. Prior to alt-J will consist of the highly praised Caribou.

On the Saturday, I predict I will spend the day at the Radio 6 Music Stage;  Drenge, Wolf Alice, Catfish and the Bottlemen and the Vaccines are people who I can’t even think about missing.

Latitude definitely left the best until last on Sunday. Noel Gallagher, the God himself, will be performing, subheadlining will be Manic Street Preachers. When I saw Noel's name, I must admit, I screamed. Last year Damon Albarn, this year Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds – both showing that all great musicians don’t last a few albums, their music will forever be masterpieces. Subheadliners include Manic Street Preachers.

Acts which I also hope to see include Gengahr (Wolf Alice, Gengahr and alt-J, sounds familiar! Click to see review…) and the great comedian Jon Richardson.

Not only am I excited to catch my favourite acts, but I’m excited to find out new people too. Looking back at last years lineup, a lot of acts have gotten bigger and get the success they deserve, so I’m excited to see who is next.

On behalf of the majority of festival goers, thank you for giving us a god sculpted line up...

Beautiful line up, isn't it?!
